NEMO2 Conda

Published: 14 May 2025 by NEMO Team

We have switched from Miniconda to miniforge for conda environments. Miniforge uses conda-forge as the default repository and does not use the Anaconda repositories. However, additional repositories can still be configured and used, such as bioconda, etc. Miniforge is a software module that you can load: module avail miniforge (alias: module avail conda). The miniforge module automatically initializes the conda environment. You do not need to run conda init to add conda to your .bashrc or .bash_profile, which can cause problems with other software or environments. After loading the Miniforge module, you can directly activate a conda environment with the command conda activate <env>.

The 12th bwHPC Symposium will take place on September 24th, 2026 and will be hosted by the University of Konstanz. Registration and call for abstracts are now open.

The statewide academic license agreement for MathWorks products at Baden-Württemberg universities expires on March 31, 2026. There will be no general MathWorks license available on NEMO2 specifically. Universities and other clusters may handle this differently. Please consider using open-source alternatives or contact us if you hold your own license.

An SSH configuration issue on the login nodes has been fixed. SSH keys stored in local authorized_keys files are no longer accepted. This behavior was never intended - please use SSH keys configured in login.bwidm.de instead.
